Request advice on PTLE Macbook vs Macbook Pro

[mtbass]

I am currently in the research stage of upgrading my home recording studio from a Korg D1600mkII to a PTLE laptop system and would appreciate any advice on compatabilty issues regarding Macbook vs Macbook Pro.

All I know is that I just picked up the macbook pro 1.16 C2D and it is screamin' baby. I thought about a macbook, but the extra real estate was worth it for me to go the pro route. I don't regret it. Spend about 2200 CAD on mine.

I have a Macbook Pro with an Mbox 2 and Pro Tools LE 7.3. Everything works great but I am having some issues with plug-ins that is causing my sessions to not open. But when they are open it works wonderfully.

Unless Digi Support jumps up to the plate on THIS THREAD with good news... The only experience I have had, v.s the rave comments here on the "pro"

I'd say "Go pro"

for added confusion I'm using the macbook with 2 gig memory and PT le 7.3.1

and it works fine. BUT if it was my ONLY way to work i'd get a second monitor.

performance - it reads large HD sessions and works great. screensize - as some one mentioned - is the only drawback.

HI,

MacBook user here, too.

Size is relative, if you travel a lot and have not so much space left a smaller laptop size
fits my needs better. I found the 15,4 Inch too big to want it constantly to carry it around.

13,3" fit everywhere and have essentially the same power as a Pro. But 2GIG RAM is a must.
the PRO has lots of things to offer I don´t need or am willing to pay for.

There is no performance issue with my MacBook. SO if you don´t need the Pro´s graphic power
and 3GIG of RAM the MacBook offers serious bang for the buck for audio recording adn want to save money.
